title: [Demonstration of the angiogenic cytokine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by non radioactive in situ hybridization].
abstract: In tumor angiogenesis Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has an important role due to its target cell specificity. It is expressed by the tumor and effects on a paracrine pathway. To increase the understanding of its regulation, it is necessary to identify those cells releasing VEGF. This can be done by in situ hybridization (ISH). In this paper we present a protocol for non-radioactive ISH for VEGF colonic tissue. With this protocol it is possible to perform hybridization within one day.
